Ep. 766: NOLAN ARENADO CALLED GAME! Cardinals win & bail out Helsley with one swing! Apr 27, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 6-5 win over the Brewers on Saturday at Busch Stadium as the Cards walked it off on a Nolan Arenado home run in the bottom of the ninth.

The Cardinals actually played a very solid game all the way through to the ninth, getting timely hitting and good defense to go along with a solid outing from Sonny Gray.

Even the bridge to Ryan Helsley was good from the STL bullpen on Saturday. But, well, Helsley himself... left something to be desired.

Still, Nolan Arenado called game and sent the fans home happy! So do the Cardinals have more juice than people think in 2025?

Ep. 765: Nolan Arenado Is UNREAL! One Of The Best Plays You'll Ever See Helped The Cardinals Win Friday! Apr 26, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals win over the Brewers on Friday night at Busch Stadium as Nolan Arenado made of one his finest defensive plays as a big-leaguer to cut down the tying run at home plate and help Phil Maton out of an eighth inning jam.

Kyle EveryDeahy pitched, too, showing his own escape tricks in the seventh. All of it led to a Ryan Helsley save.

But none of it happens without the efforts of Matthew Liberatore, who continues to "post" every fifth day for this Cardinals team.

Ep. 763: Did Stubbornness From Cardinals Roster Management Cost Them In Atlanta? Apr 24, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the stubbornness of the St. Louis Cardinals management as it pertained to the bullpen construction this past series in Atlanta.

There were guardrails on many relievers in the bullpen, guardrails which individually, we completely agree with being in place. But add it all up, and collectively, it arguably meant the Cardinals should have anticipated that they couldn't afford to carry the exact bullpen construction that they had for the Braves series.

We talk about it in depth on this episode of B-Schaeff Daily.

The St. Louis Cardinals Bullpen Woes Just Hit A Frustrating New Low Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

Andy, Brenden and Grant discuss the St. Louis Cardinals' loss to the Atlanta Braves from Wednesday afternoon at Truist Park.

No matter who Oliver Marmol turned to behind Miles Mikolas, the relievers didn't get the job done on Wednesday unless their name was Kyle Leahy (AKA Kyle EveryDeahy).

For everyone else, what did it matter the order Oliver Marmol called upon them? They flat out didn't do the job. So it begs the question, how did the Cardinals get into this spot in the first place?

Brenden defends Oli's in-game management while also criticism the overall approach that led to Ryan Fernandez still being with the big club for this series in Atlanta. Stubbornness may have gotten the better of Cardinal management with this one.

Ep. 762: THERE YOU GO, GORM! Clutch Swing By Nolan Gorman Propels Cardinals To Slump-Busting Win! Apr 23, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 10-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday night as the Cards got a hugely clutch swing from Nolan Gorman to break a tie in the eighth inning and propel St. Louis to the end of the five-game losing skid.

Willson Contreras also worked one of the toughest walks you'll ever see, and bat-flipped the heck out of it to set up the key Gorman moment.

We discuss how this night from Gorman is a prime example of the runway that Oliver Marmol and the Cardinals are expecting to give him in the days and possibly weeks ahead.

We break down the pitching, too, and potentially coin a new nickname for Kyle Leahy? #KyleEveryDeahy

Ep. 761: The Cardinals Bullpen Physically Can't Stop Blowing Games Apr 22, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses another rough go of things for the St. Louis Cardinals bullpen as this time the Redbirds had a lead going into the bottom of the eighth inning and the top setup men were unable to deliver the game safely to Ryan Helsley for a ninth inning save chance.

Plus, we're seeing a number of the young core players offensively regressing in their statistics lately. Although, credit where it's due, we saw some good things from Gorman, Victor Scott and others at the plate this evening.

It's just not enough lately to get the Cards over the hump, so we dive into exisential crisis time on B-Schaeff Daily.

Ep. 760: Cardinals Get Swept By Mets, Ryan Fernandez Struggles Reach Fever Pitch Apr 21, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals 7-4 loss to the Mets on Sunday, capping a series sweep for New York as the Cardinals fall to a pitiful 1-9 record in road games this season.

The trio of Lindor, Soto, and Alonso combined to drive in more runs in this series than the entire Cardinals team scored.

Ryan Fernandez's recent struggles reached a new level on Sunday as we're left with more questions than answers about the state of the Cardinals after a series like this one.

Ep. 759: Lights Out For Libby, But... Where Are The Cardinals Bats?! Apr 20, 2025

Show notes

Brenden Schaeffer discusses the St. Louis Cardinals shutout loss to the New York Mets on Saturday at Citi Field as Kodai Senga carved up a Cardinal lineup that is suddenly looking extremely pedestrian over the past couple of weeks.

The season-long numbers don't yet fully reflect just how quiet the St. Louis lineup has become. What gives, here? Tough pitching or something more sinister about the Cardinals?

Masyn Winn homered twice in Memphis on Saturday, so he's closing in on a return from the injured list.

What should happen to Thomas Saggese, one of the very few Cardinals swinging a solid bat lately, when Winn returns from the IL? Brenden lists some names he would see demoted to AAA instead of Saggese.
